It also helps to use deeper diving line on the low divers, say braid on low diver, mono on high divers. Another combo is wire on low, braid on high. another combo is 30 pound braid on low, 50 pound on high. Then there's the divers themselves - no ring on high, ring on low, or little ring on high, mag ring on low or regular diver on high, mag diver on low.

Also take an anger management course before attempting any of the above as tangles will be inevitable.

Good luck

This year was my first running dipsys. I must say it went pretty well. I ran two each side 1.5 setting and 3 setting using 50 lb. braid. There was a learning curve for tension release adjustment but have that figured out pretty good. I heard you can put your scale on it and have them release around 3 lbs. I'm going to try that as a baseline next season. Also ran two riggers, just remember run deepest on the inside progressively getting shallower as you move out to avoid tangles.
